Post-Game Talk: Leafs Lose 4-2

Do we even make the playoffs?
I'm telling you man. It is not a lock yet. Montreal is only 10 points behind us now all of a sudden. A five game winning and losing streak from both sides is the only difference now.
 
If there was ever a year to just tinker at the edges of the roster....this was it. Go toss a mid round pick at Brandon Tanev or something. Team didn't earn burning the entire future on this season. Here we are though.

They didn’t though. They literally got assets for 2-3 seasons.
 
Glad this pretender team gave up 2 1sts for two marginal players at the deadline...

Draft capital gone, stars rapidly approaching 30 all with NTCs or hitting UFA status... Time to make real change was years ago. Now we are locked into this medicority for the next half decade...
 
At least they’re choking ahead of the playoffs to not get our hopes up ahead of April

PK has turned sour… PP still isn’t clutch. Big names lack a killer instinct and can’t get it done.. goaltending is wavering a bit
 
These f***ing Leafs would wait until after the TDL to go completely to shit. Were 7-2-1 heading into the March 7 TDL. Treliving sent out too many futures (especially for Laughton) but the team was right there with Florida for the Division. Should've better read the situation though and only acquired Carlo.

Oh well. Can't wait until 2032 when this team is contending again with a new core group of guys, assuming the world hasn't ended by then.
I’d add a few years. And what do you mean by again?
 
No first rnd pick for 3 yrs

MSLE have refused to build around the core 4 since we got them. I won't single out any player but we are as a team are going in the wrong direction.

Not big enough, not good enough, not tough enough, not fast enough, and not enough heart
It's actually hilarious how inept this team is. Medicore defensively, mediocre goaltending (as of late - which is what happens when you have two back ups masquerading as #1s), horrific offensively (relative to their cap expenditures), zero depth, mediocre power play and a horrific PK. On top of it all, none of the players are even likeable on an individual level, as they have the same "unable to rise to the occasion" issue and their effort level is beyond questionable 99% of the time. The Brian Burke years were literally better than this. The team might have been ass, but at least they looked like they tried most of the time.
 
Not good enough again.

Is it too early to say Berube is basically Keefe with all his negatives but without all of his positives?


Wasn't Scott C. Wheeler celebrating while Dubas slowly destroyed the team? And then was mourning when he got fired? Yes he was.

His only reasoning for not liking Berube is that Berube is a meanie pants poopy head.
 
I still faintly remember the hope and optimism when we finally got a bunch of top tier talent in the draft. The future seemed full of humiliating inferior foes in the regular season and long playoff runs.

Now we're just left with this trash.
I legit thought we were going to be the next Blackhawks, with Rielly our Keith, Marner our Kane and Matthews our Toews. Never again will I ever have faith in this team. Never.
